Being the mediocre student that I am I would like to take this time that I could and should be doing homework to post some of my favorite words.
I like these words for their etymology, orthography, phonology, and/or semantics. So without further ado and in no particular order:
apogee
archipelago
veracity
ambiguous
cartography
necromancy
melancholy
masochistic
grotto
ersatz
bowson
satiate
placenta
coup d'etat
hysteria
heliocentric
monochromatic
thesaurus
narcoleptic
audacity
crenshaw
crecent
asparagus
pomegranate
pineapple
I'll probably add to this list as I encounter more of my favorite world-expanding treasures.
